International Trailer: Eli Roth’s Knock Knock Plays a Death Game

A world premiere in the midnight section of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Eli Roth’s seductive thriller Knock Knock is headed toward UK release. In anticipation of its June date, a new international trailer has hit. 

Loosely based on 1977’s Death Game (stars Colleen Camp and Sondra Locke helped produce this new iteration), Knock Knock stars Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas (in a really terrific U.S. introduction) and proves something of a departure for Roth. No less dark, the film is far less graphic and even manages to sick inside the house for the writer-director who infamously takes his characters to foreign, volatile territory. Reeves stars as “Evan Webber, a happily married architect who appears to have everything a man could ever dream of – a loving and successful wife, two beautiful children and an expensive home. During a weekend alone, his peaceful existence is interrupted by the sudden arrival of two lost and seemingly innocent young girls. After naively inviting them in while they wait for a taxi, the night takes a sudden and disturbing turn when a debaucherous mistake evolves into a living nightmare.”

Knock Knock is out in the UK June 26th and will hit the U.S. from Lionsgate this fall. For more, see our review from Sundance here
